A $145B monthly deficit means the gov't is spending far more than it earns, and that gap doesn’t disappear without consequences. Eventually it shows up as higher rates or inflation pressure, and regular households pay first. This is the quiet story everyone ignores while cheering market highs.

“Somehow, despite never submitting any of the paperwork they sent me—not the background check or identification info, not the domestic violence affidavit, none of it—ICE had apparently offered me a job.” slate.com/news-and-politics/20

Sometimes it’s the little things, the straw that breaks the camel’s back. I hope.

“I was going to school!” the 16-year-old citizen protested.

They choke-hold-ed him, then:

“Agents had taken his phone. He used Find My to locate the phone — at a vending machine for used electronics miles away, close to an ICE detention center.”

They took his phone and sold it.

If the ICE officer who illegally shot a woman faces no repercussions that will now be precedent. All ICE officers and by extension federal law enforcement officers will have effective authority to kill anyone they see fit. Your protests are about to turn bloody America.

Your Members of Congress need to hear from you — urge them to use the upcoming Homeland Security funding bill to rein in ICE and stop the regime’s terror in our communities.

Donald Trump didn't just give the finger to a protester who called him a "pedophile protector".

He's given the finger to every person struggling to afford healthcare, food, and housing.

He's given the finger to our constitution, our democracy, our allies, our economy, and to every business that depends upon trade.

It's past time for the DoJ to obey the law and release ALL the Trump/Epstein Files. ALL of them.

@arisummerland @GayDeceiver I'm a soccer fan, too, and I don't the World Cup here. If they want to move all the games to the free countries of Canada and Mexico and leave U.S.A. out, that be great by me.

When you topple a dictator and then put yourself in charge without an election then you are also a dictator.

I realize today is January 6th, and we are remembering the Insurrection. But dude... it's also the first day you can eat King Cakes.

The #Republicans under #MikeJohnson have tapped Rep #BarryLoudermilk of Georgia [who literally gave a tour of the Capitol building to some insurgents the day before the #insurrection] to stand up their own special committee to uncover what the speaker calls the “full truth” of what happened. They’re planning a hearing this month.

I’m sending out love to everyone who suffered through the January 6, 2021 insurrection. I’m sure many of them are still suffering from PTSD and 141 officers were injured and several died as a result of the day. #neveragain #uspol #Jan6insurrection

A senior UK government source said: ‘This was a decision by the US [invading #Venezuela and abducting its leader]. It is not for us make a judgment on whether it was lawful’

So it’s very clear that #Starmer is completely under #Trump’s thumb. No surprise there…but it just makes clear how morally weak and technologically stupid the leadership of the UK is. Starmer is still desperate for a trade deal with a fascist state and to sell us out wholesale to the tech bros.

What happened to our military not obeying unlawful orders?

"The Trump admin adopted a legal position🚨to deny bond to as many #immigrants as possible.⚡That position has now been rejected by: 309 judges appted by every living pres. Yet bc of legal proc, blocking the policy NW is very diffic."

"Yet another judge joined the list this morning --NH's P Barbadoro, a GWB appt, ruled🚨against the admin's #detention pol, bringing to 309 the# of judges who've rejected it, comp to 14 who *sided w #ICE.
